Shatta Michy Questions G@ys: Women are sweet, why go for the hard backside?

In a recent interview on UTV’s Atuu, Michelle Diamond, popularly known as Michy, has stirred the conversation surrounding Ghana’s proposed anti-LGBTQ+ bill. The well-known figure expressed her support for the legislative initiative and shared her perspective on how traditional values align with heterosexual relationships.

Michy’s approval of the anti-LGBTQ+ bill reflects a larger sentiment in Ghana, where traditional values hold significant influence over societal norms and beliefs. She believes that these values underline the idea that God created man for woman, emphasizing the importance of preserving these traditions.

During the interview, Michy voiced her concerns about the impact of Western culture on the younger generation. She pointed out that elements of non-traditional relationships are present in literature and media that children consume. Michy questioned whether banning certain activities would be effective when these ideas are imprinted in cartoons and books that young minds encounter regularly.

“I was happy but you see no matter the laws it is in the education you give to the kids, we have a compilation or selection of Shakespeare books, summarized stories of Shakespeare’s books.”

“Recently I asked my son to read the book and come tell me the story later, he explained how a girl dressed like a boy and fell in love with another guy…and also how a boy wore female pants in a Shakespeare book. So, for the law, whatever they ban or prevent from happening is imprinted in the cartoons, and in the books. Can you cancel those books?”

Michy’s views also extended to her belief that Western influences are shaping the values of the next generation in ways that may not align with Ghana’s traditional beliefs. She passionately stated her perspective, asking why individuals would choose non-traditional relationships when, in her view, “woman is sweet.”

“I feel like the whites are grooming the next generation in certain ways and I am not happy about it because creation didn’t talk about Adam and Adam, I believe that woman is sweet Abeiku so why would you go for the hard backside? she asked.
